I've been riding a Hillborne since 2009, and I vote drops. Specifically the Nitto Noodle. According to the catalogue, as a 6' male, I ought to be riding a manly 46 or 48 cm bar, but I guess I'm more of a non-manly man, and really love the 44cm Noodle. I guess you could get a different handlebar, but why try? The noodle is a super comfortable bar! Be it poking along upright or aggressive bombing, the noodle gives you all you need.
